Best Answer

There a five known species

Sixgill, lives in deeper water of south East Africa

Longnose, off most of Australia in deep water, bays and estuaries

Japanese, off the coast of China out past japan and down about as far as northern Phillipines

Shortnose, off southern Australia deep water at about 300 metres

American, off the warmer US east coast and around the Bahamas in deep water

Then there are sawfish which live in Southern Hemisphere tropics with two freshwater species found in northern Australian rivers
